Kellogg: Calling all applicants - Class of 2016

So, what are the expected dates for interview decisions to be released? Are they the same for international candidates as well? Thanks!

Just got off-campus alumnus interview invitation on 25 Jan in Seoul. R2 applied on 8 Jan night.

How was the interview experience mgh?

50 minutes, with a 2011 alumni. He runs a start-up and was really laid back. Got the general questions (walkthrough resume, why kellogg, why mba, long and short career plans, ethical issues, biggest failures), asked a lot of follow-ups and would deep-dive into a lot of answers, but remained friendly. Overall conversational, no real surprises.

Thanks a lot for the response!

Anybody get an interview invite in Chicago yet?

Received e-mail for off-campus interview this past Friday near Philadelphia.

No India invites yet???? The waiting is terrible.... much worse than any other phase of the application....

I got, but don't forget that if you selected an option "on-campus" interview, you need to call the Admissions before Jan 20 (if I am not mistaken) to schedule the interview. I have scheduled mine already. Good luck .

I did not select on campus. It said that if you are in the Chicago area to select off campus, so I did. When did you get your application in?

I am an international applicant, so I selected on-campus interview and called To schedule the interview. I think in your case you should wait. Good luck.

FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: Exchange Experience: We Lived Kellogg

Only a quarter of classes can be enough to feel and take home Kellogg’s spirit. I spent 2013 winter quarter there on the Exchange MBA Program and lived it in full. From the fantastic classes to the very diversified clubs’ activities and even the campus services, there is no way you can’t learn and be encouraged to do better, dream and go for it after living Kellogg. I was lucky to know very nice full-time students in my classes but also very interesting and fun people on exchange with me. We were quite a group and the stories to tell are a proof of it. The slideshow above is just a summary of great memories. I will never forget my classes with Professor Mohanbir Sawhney and Professor Andrew Razeghi, nor the ideas bouncing in the Marketing Conference. Lunch ‘N’ Learn with Pepsico talking about Quaker brand, Kraft sharing how they invented Mio, the branding competition organized by the Design Club, and Professor Timothy Calkins reviewing last year’s SuperBowl ads were remarkable moments. Priceless were also the meetings with Loraine Hasebe and Madison Morris to talk about career development. I’m very thankful to them! Spare time always had enjoyable plans, too. Going to Louie’s on Tuesday for the burgers, open mic Monday’s at Kafein, hanging out in McManus lounge, going swimming or playing racquetball in Henry Crown’s Sport Pavillion, spending St. Patrick’s in a green Chicago, watching the Bulls or the Blackhawks, listening to jazz in the city, LAHIMA‘s karaoke … The list could go longer, but there’s a way to sum it up: it was an amazing time. Thanks again Kellogg for giving us this unforgettable opportunity. No more to say but hoping you enjoy the slideshow images at least a bit as I (we) did.

Hey, my video essay was waived due to the technical problems. I got an email from Kellogg that I can submit a new video essay if I want to. Just wondering if anyone else also got such a notification from Kellogg? Thanks.

Thank you for this clarification! I was having trouble finding information on the website about how to schedule interviews.

Yup! Got the same notification. I am planning to retry and submit it by tomorrow.

Thought I should post my interview experience. I'm an international applicant based out of the US and I submitted my application a couple of weeks before the deadline. My interview was taken by an alum last week. Interview was very conversational and she asked a lot of follow-up questions. Some of the questions asked were why mba, why kellogg, what do i currently do outside of work, leadership experience, conflict resolution, what courses/clubs i would be interested in after coming to kellogg etc. She kept writing a lot of notes as i answered all her questions. It is good to prepare for all probable questions in advance as a lot of them would be asked during the interview.
